""A Defense Of The United Company Of Merchants Of England: Trading To The East Indies, And Their Servants"" is a book written by John Dunning and published in 1762. The book is a defense of the United Company of Merchants of England, which was a trading company that operated in the East Indies. Dunning argues that the company and its servants were unfairly criticized by their detractors, who accused them of engaging in monopolistic practices and mistreating the local population. He contends that the company was a vital part of the British economy and that its activities in the East Indies were beneficial to both Britain and the local population. The book provides a detailed history of the company, its operations, and its impact on the East Indies. It also includes a rebuttal of the criticisms leveled against the company and its servants. Overall, ""A Defense Of The United Company Of Merchants Of England: Trading To The East Indies, And Their Servants"" is a valuable historical document that sheds light on the role of British trading companies in the colonial era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
